The enclosure is roughly semi-circular, the straight western side formed not by human construction but by a vertical cliff of exposed limestone, with an earthen and stone bank completing the arc around the remaining perimeter. It is an arrangement that feels deliberate, opportunistic in the best sense, using the landscape rather than fighting it.

The enclosure is modest in scale, measuring around ten metres west-northwest to east-southeast and six metres across its shorter axis. A broad bank of earth and stone, nearly six and a half metres wide in places, curves around the site, and at its outer base runs a fosse, the term for a defensive or boundary ditch, roughly four metres wide and half a metre deep. Together the bank and fosse would have defined this space clearly, though the earthwork becomes noticeably more denuded towards the east-northeast, narrowing to around three metres in width and losing much of its original height. No original entrance survives in a recognisable form. Whether the site functioned as a small enclosure for livestock, a domestic compound, or something with a more ceremonial character is not recorded. The limestone scarp to the west gives the whole arrangement an asymmetric quality that sets it apart from the more regular ringforts found elsewhere across the Irish landscape, where a circular bank and fosse are the norm.
